Synopsis

The higher education sector is being disrupted through the effect that
technological innovations have on the educational market. As digital and mobile
technologies are developing further, higher education institutions must embrace
these developments to meet the needs of their learners and to not become
irrelevant. In higher education, disruptive effects are mainly visible on a
program/product level, with an increasing number of programs including some
element of online education. Disruptive effects also become evident on a pedagogical level, where
student engagement, collaboration and social learning, gamification and serious
games, competency-based learning, teacher training, and overcoming geosocial
divides are high on the agenda. This book considers the effect of online
elements and their design on university business models and
internationalization, course design, massive open online courses (MOOCs), and
the scalability of online programs. It also explores how higher education
institutions across the globe respond and react to the challenges and
opportunities evolving in online education.
